Luke Lesson 9 Handout
Luke 2:39–40 (NASB95)
39When they had performed everything according to the
Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city
of Nazareth.
40The Child continued to grow and become strong,
increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
Luke 2:41–45
41Now His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the
Feast of the Passover.
42And when He became twelve, they went up there
according to the custom of the Feast;
43and as they were returning, after spending the full
number of days, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.
But His parents were unaware of it,
44but supposed Him to be in the caravan, and went a day’s
journey; and they began looking for Him among their
relatives and acquaintances.
45When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem
looking for Him.
Matthew 2:13 Now when they had gone, behold, an angel
of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get
up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and
remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search
for the Child to destroy Him.”
14So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother
while it was still night, and left for Egypt.
2
15He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to
fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the
prophet: “OUT OF EGYPT I CALLED MY SON.”
16Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the
magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the
male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity,
from two years old and under, according to the time which
he had determined from the magi.
17Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the
prophet was fulfilled:
18“A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING,
RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN; AND SHE REFUSED TO BE
COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NO MORE.”
19But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, and said,
20“Get up, take the Child and His mother, and go into the
land of Israel; for those who sought the Child’s life are
dead.”
21So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and
came into the land of Israel.
So when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea
in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there.
Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the
regions of Galilee,
23and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to
fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: “He shall be
called a Nazarene.”

Zechariah 14:1–3 (NASB95)
1Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken
from you will be divided among you.
2For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to
battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered,
the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest
of the people will not be cut off from the city.
3Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those
nations, as when He fights on a day of battle.
Daniel 2:20–21 (NASB95)
20Daniel said, “Let the name of God be blessed forever and
ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him.
21“It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He
removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to
wise men And knowledge to men of understanding.
Luke 2:46Then, after three days they found Him in the temple,
sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them
and asking them questions.
47And all who heard Him were amazed at His
understanding and His answers.
48When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His
mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us this
way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously
looking for You.”
49And He said to them, “Why is it that you were looking for
Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s
house?”
4
Luke 2:49 (AMP)
49And He said to them, How is it that you had to look for
Me? Did you not see and know that it is necessary [as a
duty] for Me to be in My Father’s house and [occupied]
about My Father’s business?
Luke 2:50But they did not understand the statement which He
had made to them.
51And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and
He continued in subjection to them; and His mother
treasured all these things in her heart.
52And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in
favor with God and men.
Deuteronomy 16:16–17 (NASB95)
16“Three times in a year all your males shall appear before
the LORD your God in the place which He chooses, at the
Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and
at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before
the LORD empty-handed.
17“Every man shall give as he is able, according to the
blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.
John 2:19 (NASB95)
19Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three
days I will raise it up.”

Most of the world is now familiar with the explosive events
which took place in Israel during September of 1996.
The underground tunnel at the center of the controversy
was known officially in the 1980's as the “Western Wall
Tunnel.” Unofficially it was called the “Rabbi's Tunnel,”
because it was the project of Orthodox rabbis in
Jerusalem. Work on the tunnel began shortly after the Six
Day War in 1967, under the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
The rabbis did not discover an ancient tunnel, but dug their

own narrow horizontal mine. It started from the area of
the Western Wall plaza (also known as the “Wailing Wall”)
and ran north along the outside of the western wall of the
Temple Mount compound. The Temple Mount, which now
houses the Muslim shrines of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the
Dome of the Rock, was refurbished by King Herod as part
of his renovation of the Second Temple. While the rabbis
worked with government knowledge, there was little
government oversight. Professional archaeologists also
had little interest or involvement in the project.
As they tunneled north along the Temple Mount's western
wall in 1982, the rabbis found an ancient sealed
underground gate. They broke through the gate and began
to clear out chambers beneath the Temple Mount. Reports
suggest they were looking for evidence of the Ark of the
Covenant and the Holy of Holies from the ancient Jewish
Temples. Palestinian workmen on top of the Temple Mount
compound heard the sounds of their digging up through a
cistern. They opened the cistern and rushed down. In an
area where the cistern and gate complex came together,
they found the Jews clearing out the gate room and
passageways beneath the mount.
A Palestinian riot resulted with numerous injuries. The
Israeli government stopped the work beneath the mount

and sealed the underground gate. Yet, the rabbis were
allowed to resume their digging northward along the
outside of the western wall.
Hebrews 7:26–27 (NASB95)
26For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy,
innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted
above the heavens;
27who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer
up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of
the people, because this He did once for all when He
offered up Himself.
Hebrews 10:11–14 (NASB95)
11Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time
after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away
sins;
12but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time,
SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,
13waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A
FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.
14For by one offering He has perfected for all time those
who are sanctified.
Luke 21:5–6 (NASB95)
5And while some were talking about the temple, that it was
adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

will come in which there will not be left one stone upon
another which will not be torn down.”
1 Kings 3:4–12 (NASB95)
4The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was
the great high place; Solomon offered a thousand burnt
offerings on that altar.
5In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at
night; and God said, “Ask what you wish me to give you.”
6Then Solomon said, “You have shown great
lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according
as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and
uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved
for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him
a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
7“Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king
in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do
not know how to go out or come in.
8“Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You
have chosen, a great people who are too many to be
numbered or counted.
9“So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge
Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is
able to judge this great people of Yours?”
10It was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had
asked this thing.
11God said to him, “Because you have asked this thing and
have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches
12
for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your
enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to
understand justice,
12behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I
have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there
has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you
arise after you.
